There are a lot of overrated movies. And this is one of them. But still it is a good movie that almost lived up to the hype. Some movie do not ever get close to the hype Like The Godfather or the The Godfather part II. or The Silences of the lambs. Or The Godfather part III. This a good movie. It is kind of sad. But it did have a good story line. It also had good acting. If you like history dreams this is a good movie to see. PS. to the haters. Women and children are not always so innocent. I am white and have to say the slave owners got exactly what was coming to them. It is a shame there didn't kill more and get way with it.

Great story of rebellion a bit sugar-coated though. Settings, acting, all good. Extras explaining the real story, very good. It seems very bad in the end but today, more people get killed in an hour of madness in the USA than whites in this this rebellion. Africans did pay quadruple. Terrorism was on both sides. Mostly from the whites.

I found this a really good film that entertained me throughout. I won't get all dramatic like some that lie to review however it was good and I don't need to say anymore. I usually love this kind of film so it was a no brainier for me. I have watched it once on my own and once with my family enjoying the experience both times. I would truly recommend this film.

The movie was just "ok". Pretty much what I expected in a "slave movie"- brutal whippings, white males raping at will, and a lot of turning a blind-eye rationalizations by the "good ol white folk." What's "typical" is the response from certain reviewers (read:white) who seem hung up on Nat Turner's actions rather than the REASON why he acted the way he did. These reviewers are aghast that the real rebellion resulted in the deaths of "innocent" white women and children of slave holding families YET they conveniently sidestep the feelings of a slave having known that 'massah' and any other white male could sexually denigrate his wife, sister, mother, or preteen child at any time. It's almost like white males are supposed to be "entitled" to do whatever they felt and if someone who is impacted "reacts"- like Nat Turner- then that person is at fault. In real life Nat Turner may have killed white women and children in the rebellion but these same "so-called innocent" white people didn't have any heartburn over the inhumane brutality suffered ad nauseam by black women and children. Based on many reviews seems like the same savage primitive attitudes of many whites haven't changed in the past 185+ years since the events of this movie.
